I practically dragged my self through the maze like corridors following closely to Sebastian's lead. Rows of ancient family portraits hung on the dusty walls of the mansion it always gave me the chills passing them as if they were watching my every move; judging me to the core.
But my eyes always drifted back to Sebastian he looked exceptionally beautiful today as did all the other days but today he seemed more awake and aware but I wonder for what reason. But the sharp turn that lead to my father's study gave me something new to think about.
Hmm now, I do not recall breaking any rules in the past week.
The old oak door loomed over us as if to intimidate me with the honour it held of guarding the alpha and all his counsel work. Sebastian took hold of the nob and the door creaked open and I slipped in . My father behind mountains of paper work lifted his head acknowledging my presence.
I could not tell if he was pleased to see me but I would not say he was displeased either. He beckoned for me to sit on the ancient arm chair across the desk.
The room looked smaller then it had compared to when I was a little girl running around and hiding behind the many long book shelves but now it seemed a mess. He was working over time his once youthful face now adorned itself with scars and wrinkles of sleepless nights caused by the recent issue with rouges from both the vamps and wolves, it was a troublesome matter to have to deal with.
"Your mother has gone to speak to some alphas from the neighbouring packs and a few other vampire officials she seems to be running late and stayed longer than I anticipated" he let out a breath even I didn't know he had been holding. He looked exhausted.
"I presume she wont be back until noon .. I was going to wait for her return but time is of the essence" he trailed off deep in thought a look of distress washing over his face .what was it? He was so anxious why did he stop talking? Sebastian already by my side placed a warm hand on my shoulder. Though it a small gesture it reassured me everything was going to be fine .
My father now standing started towards me "it's the first full moon of your 18th birthday tomorrow" he declared "my baby you are not like the others I can not help but to single you out from the rest of the children...
We do not know how your body will react to the moon" by now he was kneeling I know this is too much for me to ask but it is for your own safety and the safety of those around you I don't know what you will be capable of ... especially when you reawaken with your new powers an- "
I remained silent utterly shocked I did not know what to make out of this situation. "what your father is trying to say, is we are going on a little trip prince- I mean clementine so you can discover your true self"
"Aaah yes that's right Sebastian, he will be accompanying you all the way and the maids have prepared your things for you to- " I stood now, my chair screeched harshly As it gliding across the floor.
"Ye-y-our sending ME, your only daughter away to that enchanted prison for rouges who have gone bloody mental excuse my manners father" His face had now gone blank and completely unreadable ." what if I die out there you probably wont even notice I'm gone you don't know what it feels like to just be alive I hate being a stupid hybrid no one ever takes me seriously!"
The wolf in me raged I could feel the heat rush to my face blood coursing through my veins and in an instant I changed with so much force as if my life depended on it and I ran and ran until the grand doors to the garden were visible, I lunged through the glass my thick black coat acting as a barrier to shield my skin from glass shards and I disappeared into darkness ...
